His first encounter with racism was in grade two, on the playground at school. A boy he didn't recognize approached and called him the N-word. "I remember feeling powerless in that moment," he said. Sanders says his father had always told him, "if anyone ever calls you this word, you don't stand for it." "But I'm in this position where this kid is ...
As Sanders grew taller he started experiencing racism in other ways too. One day he and his brother were waiting for their mother outside a hair salon. Suddenly, the police showed up. Their mother stepped in and spoke to the officers. It turned out a man had called police assuming the boys were planning to break into his car or another car in the p...

"This is the first time that I had seen a piece of Black Canadian literature that had an ensemble of Black Canadian excellence," Sanders said. Newton says her book was originally intended for kids ...
Sanders says he felt empowered by the stories in Newton's book and that inspired him to write a book about Black excellence in Montreal for a school project.
